Classes explore emotions and feelings through imaginative plays, which help to boost well-being and self-awareness.

The Helen O'Grady curriculum is constantly being developed and all teachers receive regular training to ensure the programme is delivered to the highest standard. The spring term promises to be great fun, with some fantastic new scripts, dramatic improvisations, creative mimes to music and drama activities lined up, as well as Shakespeare Week in March when students will be working on the play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream!’
